Because Your Mommy Loves You

By Andrew Clements, Illustrated by R.W. Alley

Book #2 in the "Because Your. . ." series

When a little boy and his mom go camping, mini-disasters abound, and there are lots of opportunities for Mom to step in and fix everything. But instead, with a loving touch, this mommy shows her child ways to do things for himself, going far to encourage her child’s independence. And there is still plenty of opportunity for snuggling under the stars.
